New bass player...

We've been very busy since you last seen us at The Rock n Roll Rumble in April. Our next show is JUNE 30 at Church Boston opening for NoBunny and we will have 20 completely different new songs and a new awesome bass player Adam.

Yeah, Elias gave his notice and left in Oct 2010 after 2 years of solid journeyman service on bass then guitar. You can catch him with the hard rockin' 66 Breakout...

After 10+ years on drums Jim was hankering to play some guitar - you know, a one-off so we did a show at Charlie's in Dec. And, we were lucky enough to get our friend, Judd, to play drums. Judd's well known around town and beyond for playing in the Amazing Crowns (formerly the Amazing Royal Crowns) and the Country Bumpkins, as well as stints with Lyres, the Real Kids and currently Memphis Rockabilly Band.

The one-off at Charlie's turned into more shows and so, the current TRiPLE THiCK line-up:

New band line-up... Elias has moved to lead guitar (also on guitar for 66 Breakout) and Greg back from Scotland is now on bass (also on drums for Mente).

We recorded 22 songs a while back with the old line-up and will finish it as soon as we can (our recording guy has to do some project for Taylor Swift, no kidding) - we'll probably end up having 15-20 of 'em ready in the spring.

Meanwhile, we're playing:

FRI MARCH 5 in NEW BEDFORD at the Pour Farm Tavern with THE BLOOD MOONS

SAT MARCH 20 at THE CANTAB with THE KONKS and the COFFIN LIDS

FRI JUNE 18 TT's with the REIGNING SOUND + MOVERS AND SHAKERS

See you at the pub, bub.

Recording

We're finally back to recording for real - none of this DIY crap. We just laid down about 20 basic tracks a week ago at Studio Chevre in Cambridge. Not sure how many we'll use but we're off to a good start, and we're psyched to be working with Curtiss.

We're Baaaaack

That's Right, back with a new Bass player, Elias, back with new Shaker-Man, Henry. Thought we were down and out and done? Oh no, TRiPLE THiCK LiVES to play another day - on the lookout for good bills and posting new songs monthly to keep it ripe.

Go time...

Greg is moving to Scotland in two weeks. Triple Thick is done for a while. But, we're looking forward to having a few pops and playing a few more tunes before we sign off...

Sat 7/14 at The Abbey at 9pm
and Tues 7/17 at 9pm Live On Pipeline on WMBR 88.1

See you at the Abbey and stay tuned for a possible new mystery band in the fall (meanwhile catch Jim around town playing drums with The Terribles).

and Special Thanx to Henry and Jay Allen for putting together another great weekend blast at the Wellfleet Beachcomber and everyone who made it to the Cape and played.

CHRiSTMAS iN THE GARAGE

Just wanted to thank y'all for coming out to the Abbey DEC 22 for Triple Thick's return to the stage after a short five month break. We had a lot of fun playing with our friends from Montreal Shock Treatment (the best 3pc Ramones cover band around), 2/3 of Honey Badger and the Other Girls! Merry Christmas....

Lake Winnipesaukee CD release

Lake Winnipesaukee CD release... Thanks to everyone who came out to the Abbey in July for our official CD release of "Lake Winnipesaukee."

Recording, cont.

Looks like we finally done did it and mixed this here record, thanks to Jack Younger and Joe (asst engineer) at Basement 247. Next, on to the crucial and mysterious mastering process - hopefully very soon, w/ Nick Z of New Alliance. Recording can be a painful process, but we're feeling like it came out good - mp3 preview coming.

Recording @ Basement 247

It's been a long damn time coming but we're nearly done with this recording project. Back at Basement 247 in Allston, MA which is run by Jack Younger. He does a great job with all this analog gear - Check out the most recent records by the Konks, Turpentine Bros, Coffin Lids, Curses, Radio Knives, etc. for proof positive and his website http://basement247studios.com We're looking to finish in March and looking forward to it cause we think it's comin out real good.

OK, it's mid-summer and we're just getting started...First, the obligatory bass player shuffle: thanks to Johnny O'Halloran for playing with us in May/June (he's now off eating sushi in Japan with Nikki and the Corvettes).

So yeah, Greg's (Mente, Rodentt) back on bass after a multi-year hiatus. Damn, we're getting on. This Triple Thick Thing has been going nearly 6 years. I guess we've had about 15 different line-ups. Just check out the Who Is page for the latest in the ever-revolving cast.

"Man, this here rock stuff is some fun." As usual more bass news, Itai's officially retiring his thick-string for a hectic schedule chock full of hard back breaking work in a classroom. We had a blast at his last show at the always-fun Monday Night at Charlie's Kitchen playing with the Black Clouds (who kill, and recently recorded smokin' tracks with Leisure King Records - meaning us and it was fun doing it), and the Spitzz (get their rocking disc, out now on Tarantulas Records).

Itai is bass-slinging on the hastily done/ just recorded/not yet finished Live-in-Basement sessions, which also feature on assorted tracks: JJ Rassler (Downbeat 5) and Justin Hubbard (Turpentine Brothers) on lead guitar, and the always-on, Howie Ferguson on percussion.

We'll be messing around soon with former Triple Thick bass player from '00-'01, Greg Mahoney (Mente/Rodentt/Joe Harvard), and maybe some fill in players from around town, who knows. Hopefully, JJ and Justin will be playing with us again soon, as their schedule permits, as they both have
monster LP's out now, as in the case of the Turpentine Brothers (alive records) or soon-to-be-out, as in the case of the Downbeat 5.

In fact, there's plenty of great stuff coming out of Boston now/soon with the Konks (bomp) out in March, the Dents (abbey lounge records) just out and new Coffin Lids and Curses LPs can't be too far behind. Who knows, maybe the Tampoffs will even put out a tune (or ten) this year. Yeah, who the hell really knows, but we can still hope.

And, don't forget to check out Action Sundays at River Gods in Cambridge with some consistently great Garage-Punk-Rock'n'Roll dj'ing with Dinos/Amy and special wrekkid-geek guests. Love to hear all those crazy 45's.

Jill "Chilly" Kurtz has relinquished lead guitar duty to focus on her main bands, Caged Heat and the LW's. We had lots of fun playing with Jill over the past year and make sure to check out the newly released Caged Heat LP.

We're playing as a 4 piece right now w/ no lead guitar but in the Triple thick tradition we'll be having some special guests in on smokin' lead from time to time.

We hope to be playing some out of town dates in the fall/winter months so stay tuned for more news on that. In the meantime, head to our sounds page and download from the archive. Don't forget to check out the Leisure King Records page, which also has music for downloading.

Another swelteringly oppressive, sweat-filled
Summer's upon us and so is our CD release for "Wrong Turn Road." Come on
out to the Abbey on June 25 and pick up alimited edition pressing. It's gonna be fun
ah'ite with Turpentine Bros. (Justin, Tara, and Zack pound out some of the best stuff around. Get there early...) and the mighty
Tampoffs, known for their patented
blend of rock onslaught and menacing glares.

It's not your typical Triple
Thick record, seeing as how we actually used a real studio. We recorded
it at Basement 247 with Jack Younger and mastered by Nick
Zampiello at New Alliance East.

We think Jack and Nick did a great job; they're both top-notch, real class
acts. Nick's got a bonafide rock resume a mile long and Jack's been on a
wicked tear, dude - recently having recorded The Curses, the Konks, Turpentine
Bros, Coffin Lids, and the Tampoffs to name a
few.

Yup, and we had a blast on our recent Opening Band Tour in
May and June, playing Doc Ryans, PA's Lounge, O'Briens, and Johnny D's
- muchas gracias to all the bands we played with and the
creepy guy who came out to see us. See you all at the
Abbey.

The Konks Won!!!! The Konks Won!!!

They were awesome. All the bands were great. Rock City Crimewave and The Downbeat 5 kicked ass. We were introduced by that girl in Missing Person's. I met the keyboard player from The Cars. The Roxy is an expensive place to drink. So is that Matrix. $$$$$$$$$$$

More news... Itai, our original bassist, is back playing with the band after a short hiatus. Welcome back Itai!

In addition, we would like to welcome our newest member... Howard Ferguson (ex-Real Kids, ex-Lyres, ex-Barrence Whitfield, ex-Micheal Tarbox). Howie is on our new album and is playing percussion and bass.

Our new 12-song lp 'WRoNG TuRN RoAD' will be out soon. Looks like June. All of the tracks have been recorded and currently is in post-production. Charles Hansen (Rock Bottom, Ross Phasor) smokes some leads on four songs. Triple Thick guitarist Jill Kurtz kick's it up a notch on the other eight.

1-20-04

We've been busy recording at Basement 247 in Allston, Ma with Jack Younger (Curses, Konks, Tampoffs, Turpentine Bros). What a great place to record! This twelve song disc will be ready in early spring. We don't know what to call it yet. Maybe 'Wrong Turn Road'?

With the new year comes another Triple Thick bass player. Johnny O'Halloran will be relocating himself to New York City soon. A good friend, and great bassist, we will miss him... best wishes Johnny! Come celebrate his last show with us at The Abbey on January 30th.

Our 2003 release 'Honeychile' landed #69 on WMBR's Top 100 of the year! Thanks to everyone who played us over there.

Yes, it's true Mr. Itai (Tie) Halevi has departed for full time Family Man status after 4 years of reliable service on bass - gotta give him credit for sticking it despite many hassles about playing the #&*#@# five string bass - though we finally wore him down and he switched to 4 string, HA - "Thanks" "Tie" for all the bass slinging and raunchy verses -
